5 Unique Engagement Rings for Your 2025 Proposal

At Valley Rose, we push beyond boundaries to create contemporary engagement rings that tell your love story in a way that feels authentic to who you are as a couple. We’re sharing 5 of our best-selling modern unique engagement rings to help you on your search for a showstopping ring.

1. Esra Engagement Ring

One of our best-selling modern unique engagement rings is ‘Esra’ with its chic split shank and floating diamond illusion. The center oval diamond is securely set with six elegant prongs, offering a contemporary twist on the traditional single-stone ring. This sustainable engagement ring is the perfect way to maximize the sparkle of your diamond and is ideally suited for longer fingers.

2. Nova Engagement Ring

If you’re a fan of Esra, but want something a little different, consider the ‘Nova’ marquise diamond engagement ring. This modern unique engagement ring is ethically sourced and responsibly handmade, taking its inspiration from the pages of our favorite fantasy books. The marquise cut adds a whimsical feel, perfect for a couple searching for a classic ring with a unique twist.

3. Amaya Engagement Ring

Round diamonds are one of the most recognizable silhouettes, but our ‘Amaya’ ring reimagines the style with a unique diamond-studded split shank design. This design makes the center stone appear as though it’s floating, adding a touch of timeless elegance that feels both modern and traditional.

What makes this unique engagement ring extra special is your ability to choose a custom center stone, such as your birthstone, perfect for couples who want to add extra meaning to their ring.

4. Capri Engagement Ring

Modern unique engagement rings elevate popular styles by adding extra sparkle. Our ‘Capri’ emerald cut diamond engagement ring takes the traditional three-stone emerald cut and adds two accent round cut lab diamonds.

The five-stone design elongates the silhouette with baguette-cut side stones for a balanced look. This alternative engagement ring is an ideal option if you want the feel of a vintage ring but with modern design ethics.

5. Eleonora Engagement Ring

We believe there are no rules when it comes to designing engagement rings – and the unexpected silhouettes can often be the most impactful. Our ‘Eleonora’ emerald cut diamond engagement ring has a dazzling emerald cut diamond in a classic prong setting, adding a whimsical feel with two pear-shaped side diamonds. This silhouette is one-of-a-kind, perfect for the couple in search of a unique engagement ring.
